She Called

 

I had to take a nap due to sleep problem. I left my phone with Tommy and told him to answer when cleaner called. She did and Tommy can remember nothing she said except one thing. She asked to speak to me. Then, she must have said something else because he told her he did not know my schedule. She said she would call later. It was a 32 second call. No, she has not called back. 

Tomorrow, the ot comes, so no time for cleaner. 

Today, I went to the Pig and Ace. Manager in charge of Ace today, could not help a woman with a battery for a remote. So, I did. He is not much of an employee. 

I repaired the mailbox decoration. Tommy will put it back on tomorrow. The deer light up about 2 pm and shut off at 10 pm or earlier. Tommy will reprogram that tomorrow. 

Tonight, we baked three small packages of chicken--4 drumsticks, 4 filets of breast, and two huge bscb; part will be for Christmas Day. We cooked with the chicken : potatoes, pound of carrots, and 2 lbs. of Brussels sprouts. One had a worm in it which I found before cooking, thankfully. 

The last two nights have been a true test of the king-sized wool blanket. I felt not one breeze like I did before. I slept with king wool blanket, military wool blanket, cheap quilt and flannel sheets. It was heaven. 

Plus, the injection site of the covid vaccine is terribly sore. It is in left arm, not my preferred arm for injections. I sleep on my left side, so I always get injections in my right arm because I won't sleep on that side. NOW, The lump and pain keep me up. It throbs. Tommy said his was very painful, too. It has been four days, and there is a larger lump each day and more pain. His hurt much worse after he carried in four cases of Dasani. Does a vaccine cause lump, pain, and raised temp in your arm?

When the leg therapy is used on me, it sometimes squeezes my toes together really tight. Last night, I almost cried. Later, my toe hurt so that I kept getting up, trying to care for it. It was 8 am before I managed to stop most of the pain and finally sleep. Late today, I finally quit limping! 

Bubble lights for the tree are one of my fondest memories of my early childhood. Do you love them? 

What is a fond memory of a Christmas decoration?
